How did I find the file:
I found the audio file on the Internet Archive. I did a search under Audio Files for a short audio clip on food waste reduction. I specifically looked for audio files that offer strategies on food waste reduction to support my learning outcomes. There is no shortage of choices for this topic.

This file meets the learning goal. The speaker is a Registered Dietitian who has a lot of expertise in food waste and has published three books. She spoke clearly and in a conversational style. She presented only relevant information. The strategies she offered were practical, concrete, and easy to implement. She also provided a few recipe ideas to keep the listeners interested.
I could reduce the length of the audio file by removing one minute at the start and two minutes at the end of the file which is not essential for the learning.
